Could not complete the command because of a program error. Adobe Color Gradients

I'm experiencing an issue with Adobe Color. After creating a gradient and adding it to my library, everything works fine. However, when I attempt to use the gradients saved in my library, I encounter an error message: "Could not complete the command because of a program error." This error pops up three times after clicking "OK." I am using the most updated version of Photoshop, and I even tried uninstalling and re-installing it. Interestingly, gradients I previously created on Adobe Color still work, but the ones I created within the last two days do not. Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Same problem here. Seems like adobe messed up and doesn't take notice or make fixes. That's a expensive waste....

I have the same problem, gradients I saved several month ago are still working, the one I saved in my library after creating it in Adobe Color some days /weeks ago, gives error message  "Could not complete the command because of a program error." This error pops up three times after clicking "OK."

Just to rule everything out, have you restarted your computer?
